Ok

[@54raynor]

Nothing bitter about it. Both shows hold each other in very high regard.

[@dominictrujillo3323]

I'm okay with it 👍

[@account-pb2df]

Fun fact. REFERENCING south park, and MAKING FUN of south park are 2 different things. This list is like 7 references, some of which are positive 😂

[@dannypriestley1978]

Oh good I get to have my say... The Simpsons have been very good, very funny and genius at times.... but.... Nothing matches the wit of South Park and the genius mind of Trey Parker!!!!! Nothing even comes close!

[@simoltd]

It’s pretty well known that the simpsons writers and South Park writers get along really well and admire each other

[@kevinrosario2729]

The Simpsons writers also sent the South Park writers a gift basket, thanking them for making fun of Family Guy in the "Cartoon Wars" special

[@jeremysiron9622]

Yeah, but Dan Castellaneta still always does. Voice performances on South Park and they’ll still do crossovers, they get along, even if they make fun of each other, both family, Guy and South Park have said that they owe their success of The Simpsons……and we’re inspired by them

[@wadiyatalkinabeet8025]

Same thing can't be said with Family guy sadly

[@socks92]

Where are you guys getting that from. the simpsons creators like seth

[@wadiyatalkinabeet8025]

@@socks92 Yes they do like Seth but have you never seen one of the hundred claims by the Simpson creators that family guy copied them, they tried saying the hole family is a copy of the Simpsons even South park has claimed multiple episodes copied from them and both have stated that the show isn't anywhere as good as there's, the amount of drama you can find between the 3 with just a quick google search is crazy

[@trinaq]

I love how they shift the animation style to replicate South Park's style. My favourite shout out is when Bart, Milhouse, Nelson and Ralph are styled after the South Park Boys, and Otto knocks over Ralph, believing him to be Kenny.

[@Skid_Master_Wheatley]

No he says “I killed kenny yesterday, who did I kill today”

[@Carbon_rod]

I like how they made Maggie look like Ike 😂

[@slrflre]

matt stone does all the dirty work behind the scenes while trey does a lot of the upfront stuff which LOOKS like he does more work. poor matt omg 😭

[@Gaygaymers]

either way they both worked rlly hard so kudos

[@Thrillhouse89]

Yeah, that's crazy. There would be no south park if it wasn't for the both of them. I'm sure Matt doesn't care because he's very intelligent but it's just ignorant to not see that it's a 50/50 contribution

[@khaansulu5695]

Matt himself said 'Trey is the chef'. Matt knows he doesn't have the same creativity as Trey but his ideas work well when Trey polishes them, which is why they work well together. Watch the documentary '6 Days to Air'

[@sethdaniel1115]

Trey is the talent, Matt is the work horse. Together they're a perfect match

[@SonofTuscon99]

The best one will forever be the "We Stand With You, South Park" chalkboard gag.

[@nancykillsyou]

When South Park did their whole episodes ripping on Family Guy the writers of the Simpsons and King of the Hill called Trey Parker and Matt Stone to personally thank them. 😂

[@captainrelyk]

Comparing eric cart man to darth Vader or Joseph Stalin isn’t harsh, he literally fed a kid his own dead parents!

[@redred222]

Scott tenormen must die

[@edgareduardoalvaradojuarez3641]

And people complained about what happened to him at the end of the Post-Covid special. Like, he literally deserved it.

[@AurumJo]

That kid's dad was also Cartman's real dad. So he fed his dad to his half-brother.

[@RVAdada]

It really isn’t

[@dannyboy589]

@@edgareduardoalvaradojuarez3641 I don't think people felt mad about cartmans future because he deserved to live a happy life, but instead because it was shown that he at least had an oppurtunity to live a good life before having it stolen from him

[@Goof-Bot]

The “I’m not fat I’m big-boned” has been around since long before South Park. My dad’s uncles and grandparents would say that

[@allendracabal0819]

Nobody is disputing that. It can still be a South Park reference, though.

[@MelodicTurtleMetal]

Liar! It was a hateful, mean spirited rip at Southpark. Just one more distasteful quip in a long line of hostile rivalry

[@paigecrossland4289]

At least Matt Groening & Trey & Matt actually like & respect each other ❤ They do not get along with Seth Macfarlane from what I’ve heard 😅

[@ScovellsRock]

Seth is a hack. South Park proved that his formula requires no talent.

[@camronglenn3502]

Everything I have read said that the Creators of the Simpson and South Park are quite friendly with each other.

[@FishGB]

South Park is one of the only shows I've ever seen that has got better and better with age. (I've been watching it since I was in School in the 90's) Amazing Show!!

[@matt13r1]

It’s more amazing how much Matt and Trey admire Matt Groening

[@chrisrj9871]

"Big-Boned" has been around for probably some years if not decades before South Park. It was in Nickelodeon's "Doug" in one episode where Doug thought he was fat, and that was probably 1992.

[@drakmendoa]

The "big-boned" excuse was done before in the Asterix Comics where the character of Obelix denies him being fat all the time with that or similar excuses.

[@scottboswell6406]

"Big boned" has been around about 100 years, hahaha! Real people and comedians have been saying that at least that wrong.

[@KarmaO3VT]
